Going uphill would also burn more gas though, so I'm surprised a pure gas car was getting 36 mpg under that scenario. And at least the electric car would regenerate a portion of the electricity on the way back down; it's not like brakes can produce gasoline, after all.

To be fair, at the time phones were not seriously used to make a lot of photos. If you wanted photos you would have a separate camera with you and phone was used only as a last resort and maybe when you needed to send an MMS with the photo.
Your presenter is obviously wrong.

The US ans Europe with far smaller populations have significantly greater climate footprints than China and India, for example. And that’s before we adjust for the fact that a lot of China’s footprint is US/European footprint outsourced to China.

Indians having fewer kids will do nothing to reduce the already too large impact of the existing US/European populations.

Also the idea that women empowerment will help with reducing kids is decades old. If your audience was surprised by this, then they are clearly not well versed in any related topics.

This is the benefits of an FAQ or open documentation platform. The treasure trough of organic keyword combinations and semantic linking that Google does makes for wonderful traffic. In most cases these are long-tail searches which evidently power >70% of all searches and from personal experience have a very solid conversion rate due to the intent of the searcher and relevant documentation in place to help answer questions.

For any startups out there, this should be at the top of your list for marketing. It will take time to get out of the Google sandbox but once you are out you are likely to get rewarded for the effort.
To reuse your bar analogy. I came in and said 'dont you think the tea is not warm enough' owner said 'uhh nooo' I said 'really, I never drank tea that cold, i think it's a lot better warmer' when suddenly the chair was removed from behind and I was thrown out.

Maybe I didn't see the sign 'no complaints about tea temperature allowed in here or you will be removed asap' but I found the whole ordeal ridiculously immature.

"Believe" is absolutely the right word; most of us don't have the time, inclination, or ability to perform the scientific method required to demonstrate evolution, big bang, or old earth. Outside of a very small number of people, the overwhelming majority of us are taking it on faith that these theories are correct.

How about file-like objects in python? Many file-like interfaces are necessarily stateful, and having the state wrapped in an object that encapsulates the state allows for graceful reuse.

As a bonus, there's no need for inheritance in python due to duck typing.
Very cool! I've been thinking about this.. let me just paste my tweets thread from a few weeks ago:

--

An issue with mobile UX is that it's tricky to maintain 'ambient awareness'. How do you 'keep an eye' on Slack? You have to foreground it & disable screen locking, or get push notifications.

On desktop you can just alt+tab to it every so often, plus the taskbar icon lights up.

I sometimes use Chrome on desktop to address a similar requirement (they have a feature to 'pin' a tab, so you can have GMail plus stuff like WhatsApp pinned.)

Would be cool if there was a cheap always-on tablet that could display arbitrary web widgets like a calendar, slack etc

Just thinking about this ambient computing thing reminds me of the ‘Chumby’, a cute smart alarm clock from the early 2000s.

Apparently the Amazon Echo Show is a bit of a successor. And I came across a wall-mounted calendar display called ‘Dakboard’ (it’s like $400 though.)

I have a use case that sounds ridiculously lazy, but I guess has been a problem for me for most of this decade: I need to know the time in various cities without doing any work besides a glance

Addendum: over the last couple days I've been looking into stuff like Arduino, Raspberry Pi etc but re-using a Kindle is cool if you don't want to do a whole electronics project
Demand wasn't there. Gaming was seen way more as "that thing nerds do" and online communities where mostly about very async forums.

Now gaming has hit main stream and is accepted by everyone. Forum concept has been dead in the water for years and everyone has moved go mobile first social medias, but none of the other social medias fill the niche of IM & VoIP.

As side note: we can gripe about Discord being electron based all we want, but that is actually a huge selling point. Discord just works on all platforms with all features. Even Linux is not some shitty after thought that has 3rd party gobbled together client that requires 10 hours of tweaking each week just to keep running. Then obviously the same code base runs on browsers.
The reality is that they can achieve a better footprint by simply packing their bags and moving back to Manhattan.

Livein in an apartment instead of a house with a backyard, and largely using public transport on a daily basis will do far more to reduce their carbon output than the steps they’ve taken.
This looks really polished (...at least judging by the great marketing video...) will have to try it!.

May I ask how long have you guys been working on this? Just curious :-)
Thousands of such online communities, and you only throw out the ones that threaten your hedge fund?
My experience with distributed computing is that the biggest issue isn't passing functions with data. Instead the biggest issue is sharing state between systems. This is part of why immutability is very nice.
Isn't the lesson to take away from this that online mega-communities simply doesn't work after they reach a certain size. Humans aren't wired in a way that allows them to gather in that number and be able to communicate with each other well. The only workable solution is software moderation which can never possess the moral agency required to legitimize tough decisions and make ethical calls.

Rather than one big community, why not a whole tree of sub-communities. With some clever discovery mechanisms to share content and discussions between sub-communities, this would enable both the larger sense of community while allowing individual circles of tighter knit communities to also form. I think this is the basic idea behind federated social media too where the "clever discovery mechanisms" are human curated lists. It's a good pattern that could work in a more centralized model too.
What I really want to know is how the WSB guys learnt that these funds were shorting GME, AAL etc.

> Aside: I’d also like to see a command line shell which runs outside the terminal emulator rather than inside it.

So how would that work over something like ssh or even a serial terminal. And you'd have a shell containing a lot of very platform specific code. That really breaks everything. I'd prefer to see well thought out evolutions to the ANSI escape sequence standards that solve real problems. The proposal on the original post does that for keys. Other things like bracketed paste and support for more than a few colours have seen some adoption. Some good ideas get less attention like having a stack for titlebar changes. Some things that weren't a great idea security-wise have been dropped (key redefinitions, retrieving the title).

One of the problems is that the concept behind termcap and terminfo doesn't really scale or allow for innovations. As a user of rxvt-unicode I often suffer the frustration of it being unrecognised on bare OS installs. But I respect the fact that it doesn't just claim to be xterm while emulating it imperfectly like many.
I suppose to Knuth’s point there is no “book of the history of graphics algorithms”. The information exists, and some people know how to find it, but we don’t choose to write the book.
> And fuel injected vehicles run fine (because they can adjust for the altitude on the fly)

A bit of pedantry: modern automotive electronic fuel injection with exhaust oxygen sensors adjust much better to altitude, but the first aircraft and automotive fuel injection systems used the Venturi effect acting on a spring-loaded diaphragm to estimate mass flow rate, and simple mechanical computer to adjust fuel flow needle valves. Early aircraft mechanical fuel injection systems contained an altitude-compensating aneroid, but I doubt early automotive models did.

Many small recreational aircraft still use altitude-compensating carburetors that contain aneroids that act on needle valves to compensate for altitude.

Even today, the oxygen sensor is a relatively expensive part, and it's possible that early electronic automotive fuel injectors didn't measure and compensate for oxygen concentration in the exhaust.

So, an old automobile retrofitted with an aircraft altitude-compensating carburetor may very well compensate for altitude better than an early fuel injected automobile. Though, I assume only a handful of cars have ever been retrofitted with altitude-compensating carburetors.
iPhones totally dominate the rankings for most used cameras on Flickr, and also dominate as the phone of choice for most top instagram accounts. So considering people for whom photography is a primary distinguishing feature, as against an incidental feature, it's probably correct.

I don't know how it is outside Europe, but in Europe car manufacturers have to obey a CO2 per kilometre limit which is calculated over their whole range of cars on offer.

Only until recently, classic manufacturers didn't actually want to sell EVs. They only built them to get down their fleet-overall-CO2-value so they can also build another SUV (which are selling like hot cakes and have a huge margin of profit compared to EVs due to tried and tested technology) and still adhere to the limit.

Now the first "legacy" manufacturers slowly start to make "proper" EVs for somewhat normal prices. However, they rely on power companies to build (compatible) charging stations. And those power companies are very reluctant because they're waiting for more EV customers to hit the streets before building more charging points. Add to that different standards (CCS, CHAdeMO) and nobody feeling responsible to quickly repair broken stations and we have the current situation.

Something that shouldn't be forgotten: Tesla early on asked other car manufacturers if they wanted "in" on their charging network. But they all refused. (Might change slowly, though. [1])

I feel the same way about the history of the Web. There are hundreds of browsers we can be using, each one with its own unique features, advantages, and dare I say, beauty. Really writing for ANY browser shows you why things are the way they are today, and helps you not reinvent Unix, poorly :D
I'm interested in knowing how you get to do "crud stuff" so fast with Next.js

- How do you do validations?

- How do you handle database migrations?

- How do you handle background jobs?

- How do you handle authentication?

- How do you handle authorization?

- How do you handle file uploads (to filesystem or S3)?

- What ORM or database toolkit do you use for queries?

- How do you send emails?

- How do you do websockets/real time?

All of these of course have answers, but each one of these comes with a lot of "decision fatigue", discussions, maintenance work and I highly doubt the cost of reaching the same level of robustness of a full stack framework is any smaller.

Real life production "CRUD stuff" is not just some http handler doing sql inserts into sqlite. There's a lot more involved. That's what Rails/Django/Symfony give you a solution for. I agree Next.js could have a faster startup for a landing page. But as soon as you need the most minimal backend, you are way, way, way further to get something robust working if not using one of the full stack frameworks.

Global climate action network to connect all climate actors
Some Rotax two-stroke engines running pre-mix have been used in ultralight aircraft, so I think appropriately sized altitude-compensating carburetors designed to run a petrol-lubricant mixture may be commercially available. However, I imagine it's pretty expensive to put aircraft parts (even ultralight parts) on a racing motorcycle.

These carbs use an aneroid to move a needle valve at the base of the jet as the atmospheric pressure changes, effectively dynamically re-jetting the carb on the fly.
This is a tired old argument and it isn't convincing or effective. There's a big difference between some kids screaming in your coffee shop and a community on a website supposedly dedicated to free discussion. A more apt comparison would be a group in a corner having a conversation at a rock concert. Suddenly this argument appears less apt.

And while some are screaming for these sites to get shut down over it, most of us aren't. What you see from most of us is recommendation to stop using services that silence you. This is a reasonable response, if someone doesn't like you, go somewhere where they do like you. That's what the comment you're responding to is advocating, embracing and even getting excited about. The internet needs a true public square, not a private entity masquerading as one that for some reason totally unbeknownst to them has to constantly remind everyone that they are not a public square.

The OP does not mention what country they are talking about. It seems to be more common in the US than in many other countries to forget to mention that. So we could guess which country the question refers to.

Legal things are always national. What could be common practice in country A might be void or illegal in country B.

Doing a Web search for my country results in plenty of hits. A recurring focus seems to be agile development. That requires of course special consideration if the contents of the work has not been defined to great detail when signing the contract.

I think reaching for JS is often a reflex because we want to avoid delving into building backends that aren't a simple REST API. If you stick to HTML and CSS you need to start building pages and managing state server-side, which a lot of people don't really want to do.

Even cheap, old smartphones support JS. You can have fast, efficient JS.

Knowing Australian politics this is more likely a PR exercise.
The function system doesn't hold 'global' state. It holds the state in arguments given to functions. If you want a client, you still have a bit of client 'data' and you pass that around your functions.

If you wanna do stuff to the client, you call functions with the client as an argument. If you want polymorphic clients, you define a client typeclass / trait / interface called Client, and then your functions take a generic Client bit of data.

In some sense, this approach is a lot like replacing foo.bar() with foo(bar). Which doesn't do much to change your program. The interesting difference in FP is how you 'change the state' of your client.

In FP, if you want your client to e.g. count its connections you would do something like `nextClient = connect(oldClient)` instead of the OOP `client.connect()`. This means that you are a lot more explicit about your state changes. This has a lot of advantages that can be hard to wrap your head around. It also comes with some disadvantages.

As a result though, all of your state is carried very 'locally' in your functions scopes.

I think you misunderstand what I'm suggesting. I'm looking to help them (the child, Uni) understand the things they're/we're playing with and having fun doing. I'm also experimenting with how I talk to them and I'm wondering if Modal Homotopy Type Theory suggests ways to form sentences to more clearly state things.

Also, Uni chooses what they do and when they do it. This includes diaper changes and baths. We seek to, at most, influence through what we say/do and configure the environment. We also moderate their food intake when it comes to things like sugar.

So with that in mind, does that change your answer at all?
There are many coffee shops in the city and there are plenty of social media platforms online (Youtube, Facebook, Tiktok, Reddit, Twitter, Whatsapp, Telegram, Twitch, Pinterest, WeChat, Snapchat). Also, there's really no evidence they're coordinating. If the guys I kick out of my coffee shop walk down the road and start shouting Retard at each other in a different coffee shop they're going to get kicked out of that one too. Not because we're in some big cabal to censor these people, but because actually most people have a fairly similar definition of offensive language, and most coffee shop owners know what's going to drive customers away. At no point does that suddenly turn into censorship.
